A Slow Blogger Weekend

Not much blogging happened this weekend! Except Heidi! Like she said, the weather was just too perfect! Too nice to sit in front of a computer.

Tom and I worked outside quite a bit--also emptied, cleaned, and refilled my hot tub. Then spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out why it kept shutting itself off. Finally, very simply, it was an air lock. Fixed, and hopefully warm enough to get into tonight.

Yesterday was confirmation day--Tom went to parties while I went to a baby shower!

Sinister Minister tried hard, but, never having run that long of a race, lost all his energy at the last turn. He was 2nd in the lead until then and then fell back to 16th. Pat was very disappointed--not in how he ran, but in the whole experience. She had hoped to go in the paddock area with the other breeders and to get closer to him. In the end "I was just another tourist"--and to make matters worse she missed the marching in parade, "My Old Kentucky Home", and had a very poor view of the race. She only saw him as he went by. When she got home, she found her VCR did not get the race. She is still hoping that just getting into the Kentucky Derby will make her horse more valuable and that she'll get a good offer for her. She could use some prayers and encouraging news!

Blessings on your week!

I actually saw the race from PHX, we were sad for Sinister Minister's poor showing.
